Success

To laugh often and love much;
To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of
false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one's self;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by healthy child, a garden patch or
a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;
To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived --
This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
